Well, no. I had read the manual many times but no where found this information Moreover, these service centers do not put distilled water, instead fill RO water.
My cousin got his radiator replaced under warranty for his Stile 1.6. Quote:

One more good thing about Dhingras is that they honour warranty and don't dilly-dally. Rama Motors was very reluctant to replace my thermostat housing under extended warranty on a Saturday, while Dhingras sent the alternator for repair on a Saturday and submitted claim on Tuesday. Quote:

I never suspected alternator's behaviour. Car used to start in one go, although I found my headlamps to be somewhat dimmer. But this problem was detected at Dhingra Motors again and they sent it for repair proactively. Battery was dead by the time alternator came back. They drove the car for 20 kms, even then it didn't charge. I had already read about Exide, it was already 1.5 years and battery was out of warranty hence I got it changed. |
